Hello

I’m Mike, a Caltech alum and former NASA employee who now tutors middle-school and high-school students in the U.S. Computing Olympiad (USACO).

My teaching philosophy

Over 9 years of teaching computer science (the last 2 dedicated to USACO) I have developed a teaching style that empowers students to have their own insights.

I encourage and praise my students for what they do right.

I maintain a focus on the big picture as well as the details.

I give my students chances to have their own insights and tools to help them become better teachers to themselves.

If you would like to get started, I can give your student a free 30-minute evaluation to find out where they’re at and how lessons can  benefit them. Feel free to contact me to schedule it.

Beginning here, you’ll find numerous articles with knowledge and tips for excelling at USACO.
